Education opportunity set for Taber adults Youth centre working PICTURE BUTTE (Special) About 40 people turned out recently to officially open the Jpportunities for Youth Centre here. Planning for this project be- gan when the high school gui- lance counsellor was speaking to young people about summer employment.

The three graduates, and nine others going into either Grade 11 or 12 have a busy schedule planned. Projects include a day-care centre for children two to six years, Monday, and Thursday afternoons; volunteer .yard work for senior citizens (with the only request being that equipment be supplied) and a teen club drop-in centre oper- ating Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from eight to 11 p.m. and Saturday afternoons from two ,to five. Between times they are also caring for the golf club prop- erty and helping with town beautification work. At the day care centre as many as 30 children are caret for Monday .and Thursday af- ternoons, at no cost to busy mothers. Co-operation has been won- derful, from the loan of play school equipment for the day care centre, to the rent-free use of an old service station build ing as a centre of operations The building hadn't been used for years. About a week was needed to prepare it for use The three boys and nine girls involved have chosen for their motto, "We Will Be There." There they'are, endeavoring to serve every age group, in any way possible, to make Pic ture Butte a better community in which to live.
